2009 Ardore Cabernet Sauvignon

The Celani Family Vineyard's prestige wine Ardore is a Cabernet Sauvignon, matured in fine French oak barrels where the lees are allowed to settle to the bottom as the wine is filtered naturally by its own weight, and is never stripped of any of its fragrance and flavor. The grapes used to create Ardore come from the most respected farms in the Napa Valley.

Tasting Notes:

The 2009 Celani Ardore is made from a meticulous selection of just 10 barrels from the most exceptional vineyard sources of Cabernet Sauvignon available. Aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, Ardore is never fined nor filtered. The 2009 Ardore is an aromatic powerhouse with huge expressions of black and blue berries, orange marmalade, crème de casis, dark chocolate, espresso, and cigar box. Subtle notes of cinnamon, black plums, cumin and suede add further compliment. In the mouth, are richly concentrated flavors of candied black cherries, roasted black berries and mocha with an underlying sweet-fruit core. The powerful flavors are beautifully integrated with supple mouth-coating tannins resulting in a seamless opulence. The 2009 Ardore will age gracefully over the next 25 years.

Ratings:

(100% Cabernet Sauvignon, from the winery's best barrels from Coombsville fruit): Deep ruby. Discreet aromas of black and purple berries and crushed rock. Like liquid velvet on the palate, with an enticing sweetness to the dark raspberry and chocolate flavors. Finishes with huge, palate-saturating, broad tannins supported by a wave of fruit. 93+ points Stephen Tanzer
